Warning Signs:

• Excessive outstanding allocates, queued allocates
• Failed allocates

Outstanding and queued allocates can be a sign of problems in the target CICS region.

You might be seeking an answer to some of the following questions when looking at these statistics:

• Are there enough sessions defined?
• Is the balance of contention winners to contention losers correct?
• Is there conflicting usage of APPC mode groups?
• What can be done if there are unusually high numbers, compared with normal or expected numbers, in the statistics report?
